Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Textured Vegetable Protein (TVP)
- 1 cup Vegetable broth (or water)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil (or any cooking oil)
- 1 tablespoon Taco seasoning
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 8 pieces Taco shells (hard or soft)
- 1 cup Shredded lettuce
- 1 cup Diced tomatoes
- 0.5 cup Shredded cheese (optional, dairy or plant-based)
- 0.5 cup Salsa (optional)
- 0.25 cup Sour cream (optional, dairy or plant-based)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup of TVP with 1 cup of vegetable broth or water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to rehydrate.
While the TVP rehydrates, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Once the TVP has absorbed the liquid, add it to the skillet. Stir in 1 tablespoon of taco seasoning and 2 tablespoons of tomato paste. Mix well to coat the TVP evenly.
Cook the TVP mixture for 3–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and slightly browned.
Warm the taco shells according to the package instructions.
Assemble the tacos by filling each shell with the TVP mixture, followed by shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and shredded cheese. Add salsa and sour cream if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your quick and easy 10 Minute TVP Tacos!
